Dilsher Singh Dhillon
Applied statistician with extensive expertise in statistics and data science. I use statistical modeling to characterize uncertainity and assist in optimal decision making for business problems. I’m an advocate for reproducible research and analysis enabled by the use of Rmarkdown/Jupyter notebooks and docker containers.
